Europe's largest low cost airline, Ryanair, will enter the Bosnian market this year by introducing flights to Banja Luka. It comes following protracted talks with the government of the Entity of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The carrier will introduce two weekly services from Charleroi Airport in Belgium, each Monday and Friday, starting October 29, as well as from Memmingen in Germany from October 30, each Tuesday and Saturday. The Prime Minister of the entity, Željka Cvijanović, has said that "several additional destinations will also be launched" by the airline in the coming period.

The world's largest carrier, American Airlines, is considering introducing seasonal flights to Dubrovnik. According to the "TangoSix" portal, the company is in talks with the airport over a seasonal service from Philadelphia. A decision on the matter is expected within the next month. American operates a number of seasonal flights to Europe from its Philadelphia hub including Athens, Barcelona, Budapest, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Lisbon, Prague, Shannon and Venice. This year, the airline expanded its reach from Philadelphia into Europe with seasonal flights to Budapest and Prague. Both are operated by its Boeing 767-300 aircraft. The move is seen as affirming American’s commitment to Philadelphia as a trans-Atlantic gateway.
Dubrovnik Airport has identified the United States and South Korea as two far-away markets which could sustain services to the coastal city. Speaking to EX-YU Aviation News, Dubrovnik Airport's General Manager, Frano Luetić, said, "These two far-…

Adria Airways intends on launching four weekly flights between Ljubljana and Dusseldorf this summer season, which would bring its total number of new destinations in 2018 to seven. As EX-YU Aviation News learns, services should commence in late April or early May. The Slovenian carrier has so far scheduled new operations to Sofia, Bucharest, Hamburg and Geneva, as well as seasonal flights to Dubrovnik and Brač. Low cost carrier Eurowings planned on introducing three weekly services between Dusseldorf and the Slovenian capital this January, however, these never materialised as it continues to deal with a fleet shortage. Adria itself has wet-leased its equipment to the German budget airline.

The Slovenian carrier is expanding its network as it adds new aircraft to its fleet. On Wednesday, Adria added a Bombardier CRJ900 jet previously operated by Spanish regional airline Air Nostrum. Registered S5-AFB (formerly EC-JXZ), the eleven-year old aircraft arrived in Ljubljana recently. It will be joined by a second CRJ900 in May under the registration S5-AFC (formerly EC-JYA). In addition, the airline will begin introducing former Darwin Airline Saab 2000 turboprops to its fleet at the start of the 2018 summer season, in late March. The extra aircraft will allow for Adria to launch new routes and increase frequencies on its existing services this summer, including Copenhagen, Paris, Prague, Podgorica, Skopje, Tirana and Warsaw.

The new additions to its fleet will also further give Adria the ability to establish itself on the ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) lease market. It already plans on extending the wet-lease of its CRJ700 to Luxair, which was initially planned to run until the end of the winter season. In a statement last week, the Slovenian airline said, "Adria Airways will consistently continue to improve its offerings and has ambitious plans for 2018. The year will be dedicated to opening more connections between cities in Europe and the Balkan region. With the implementation of novelties and optimisations, Adria Airways is continuously committed to improving the travel experience and offering the most convenient way of travelling in the region".

Doesnt mean they dont need flight ops staff. And they lack especially with the poor salaries JP pays. And take them from a foreign country is not an overnight operation. They need to be certified by SLO FAA incl medical check and that takes time

I have no intention of entering a discussion about Air Serbia because it's not relevant for today's article. But I should remind people that in the last 4 years JU has added new or resumed flights to Bucharest, Sofia, Tirana, Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, New York, Banja Luka and Beirut. At that time OU and JP were shrinking their network and going through restructuring.

It opened Kiev last year and 7 more routes this year. So if you can add that is 8 routes in total. I don't see what's condescending? I simply said that anon 9.38 is adding three years of seasonal routes for OU compared to one single year for JP (and even then it's the same number of new destinations). Seems that you are just irritated.

So if Adria opens another 4 routes next year, that would not be as big as an achievement? Also, owning an airplane is much more expensive than leasing them. What does not buying their planes have anything to do with this conversation?

@ Frishki Planes handed down? You think we are getting those planes for free? Adria is paying the lease on it just like Croatia Airlines is paying the lease for the CRJ 1000. But wow, ok didn't expect someone would get offended because I listed the amount of destinations but I'm not surprised. Croatia Airlines is the best and opened the most new routes ever, no matter about actual fact. Hope that settles it.

Dude, playing innocent doesn't become you. If you've wrote the post where you congratulate Adria instead of "take note OU and JU", I wouldn't write a thing. But with this kind of attitude, I'm bound to. Now, go get back up on that horse and look down on us.I'm out.

W6 already flies from SKP to CGN and DTM (which are both half way to DUS).JP may capture some transfer passengers from SKP to North America (via DUS), but hardly any Gastarbeiter (this presuming JP prices would be higher than W6, which normally is always the case)

I doubt you can conclude how successful they are since they just established this model and bankrupted an airline to get their hands on six turboprops. Also the success is not in the amount of flights you open it's in the finances at the end of the year without selling your brand name.

On the other hand I wish them good luck. It's good to have strong airlines and I'm very happy they are expanding.

I am surprised they did not think of resuming Berlin. They could get feed from SJJ, SKP and TIA plus I think it would also work well for the point to point market. Now it's too late with Easy Jet starting the route.
